About Deserving Life

Deserving Life is a room-scale virtual reality escape game for the HTC Vive and was developed by students in the Media Technology and Design program at the Hagenberg Campus of the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria.

You awake to find yourself chained down in an unfamiliar house. Can you solve all the riddles and find your way to freedom?

Interact with your environment and combine the available resources to overcome each obstacle and find a way out of your misery. Up to eight individual rooms await you, each packed with a series of challenges that were specially designed for the HTC Vive's room-scale features.

You’re alive. But can you escape?

Deserving Life is one of literally thousands of student projects infesting Steam. It's from University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria in Hagenberg. While student projects tend to be better quality than most "amateur" made games, we must still question what value such projects have for gamers. As with all student projects, this isn't really a fully fleshed out game, it's just the result of an academic exercise, and as such it has much more limited value as a game than a professionally developed game would have. Educational institutions should not be using Steam as a dumping ground for homework assignments (especially if the students didn't even pass the course). Sure, it helps their marketing and helps the students feel good about themselves, but this is another case of a business putting themselves before the needs of gamers. The students made a simple VR tech demo, a single room "escape room" puzzle game. There's a couple of little puzzles as you work out how to escape the little low poly room you're in.

A fun little early VR game. It's very short, but it's free so it's well worth the experience. Just make sure you have a large enough room to play in, since there's no virtual locomotion. You need to physically move within the VR space.

Игра "Deserving Life" предлагает глубокий сюжет, затрагивающий моральные дилеммы и человеческие страсти. Атмосфера напряженная, с отличной графикой и звуком, что погружает в мир тайн и рисков. Геймплей интригует, но иногда становится запутанным из-за сложного управления. История заставляет задуматься о ценности жизни, но в некоторых моментах кажется излишне драматичной. Для любителей психологических триллеров — интересный выбор, но не для всех.
